First Epistle of Clement 30

Greek original · 8 verses · some words can be tapped for a gloss

30:1

Αγίου οὖν μερὶς ὑπάρχοντες ποιήσωμεν τὰ τοῦ ἁγιασμοῦ πάντα, φεύγοντες καταλαλιάς, μιαράς τε καὶ ἀνάγνους συμπλοκάς, μέθας τε καὶ νεωτερισμοὺς καὶ βδελυκτὰς ἐπιθυμίας, μυσερὰν μοιχείαν, βδελυκτὴν ὑπερηφανίαν

Being then the portion of the Holy One, let us do all the things that pertain to holiness, fleeing slanders, abominable and impure embraces, drunkenness and rioting and detestable lusts, abominable adultery, and abominable pride.

我們既是那聖者的分，就當行一切屬於聖別的事，逃避毀謗、可憎不潔的苟合、醉酒、放縱、可惡的私慾、污穢的姦淫，以及可憎的驕傲。

30:2

Θεὸς γάρ, φησίν, ὑπερηφάνοις ἀντιτάσσεται, ταπεινοῖς δὲ δίδωσιν χάριν

"For God," it says, "resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

因為經上說：「神抵擋驕傲的人，賜恩給謙卑的人。」

30:3

κολληθῶμεν οὖν ἐκείνοις, οἷς ἡ χάρις ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ δέδοται: ἐνδυσώμεθα τὴν ὁμόνοιαν ταπεινοφρονοῦντες, ἐγκρατευόμενοι, ἀπὸ παντὸς ψιθυρισμοῦ καὶ καταλαλιᾶς πόρρω ἑαυτοὺς ποιοῦντες, ἔργοις δικαιούμενοι, μὴ λόγοις

Let us therefore cleave to those to whom grace is given from God; let us clothe ourselves with concord, being humble-minded and self-controlled, keeping ourselves far from all whispering and slander, being justified by works and not by words.

所以我們要與那些從神得著恩典的人聯合；要穿上和睦同心，存謙卑的心，自我節制，遠離一切的私語和毀謗，憑行為得稱為義，而不憑言語。

30:4

λέγει γάρ:Ὁ τὰ πολλὰ λέγων καὶ ἀντακούσεται: ἢ ὁ εὔλαλος οἴεται εἶναι δίκαιος

For it says: "He who speaks much shall also hear in return; or does the glib talker think himself righteous?"

因為經上說：「多言的人也必聽見回應；難道那口齒伶俐的人自以為義麼？」

30:5

εὐλογημένος γεννητὸς γυναικὸς ὀλιγόβιος. μὴ πολὺς ἐν ῥήμασιν γίνου

"Blessed is the short-lived one born of woman. Do not be abundant in words."

「婦人所生短壽的人是有福的。你不要言語繁多。」

30:6

ὁ ἔπαινος ἡμῶν ἔστω ἐν θεῷ καὶ μὴ ἐξ αὐτῶν: αὐτεπαινέτους γὰρ μισεῖ ὁ θεός

Let our praise be in God and not from ourselves, for God hates those who praise themselves.

願我們的稱讚出於神，不是出於我們自己，因為神恨惡那自誇自讚的人。

30:7

ἡ μαρτυρία τῆς ἀγαθῆς πράξεως ἡμῶν διδόσθω ὑπ ἄλλων, καθὼς ἐδόθη τοῖς πατράσιν ἡμῶν τοῖς δικαίοις

Let the testimony of our good conduct be given by others, even as it was given to our fathers who were righteous.

願我們善行的見證由別人來作，正如從前我們公義的列祖所得的見證一樣。

30:8

θράσος καὶ αὐθάδεια καὶ τόλμα τοῖς κατηραμένοις ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ: ἐπιείκεια καὶ ταπεινοφροσύνη καὶ πραΰτης παρὰ τοῖς ηὐλογημένοις ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ

Boldness and self-will and audacity belong to those who are accursed by God; but gentleness and humility and meekness are with those who are blessed by God.

放肆、自負、膽大妄為，是屬於那些被神咒詛之人的；溫和、謙卑、柔和，乃是屬於那些被神賜福之人的。
